RHODOCHROSITE CRYSTAL CLUSTER
Availability:
Out of stock
RHODOCHROSITE CRYSTAL CLUSTER
A Rhodochrosite Crystal Cluster on matrix. This specimen is just as it came from the ground, a chunk of rock with a pocket of lovely peachy pink crystals. Typical of the lovely Peruvian Rhodochrosite, quite different to the massive banded variety known from Argentina or the cubic crystals from Colorado. A great addition to the collection and there are not that many pink terminated crystals in the mineral world. Note the photos make the crystals look pinker than they are in person. A super gift or treat.
Location:
Ancash, Peru.
Dimensions:
8.4cm x 7.2cm x 4.2cm, 405g.
Rhodochrosite: MnCO3.

SPARKLING PYRITE CRYSTALS
Beautifully simple Sparkling Pyrite Crystals with very reflective faces. Great addition for mineral, metals or pyrite collections. The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, also known as fool’s gold, is an iron sulfide which has the chemical formula FeS2. This mineral’s metallic luster and brass yellow hue give it a superficial resemblance to gold, hence the well-known nickname of fool’s gold. Interestingly Pyrite does not attract a magnet. This specimen comes from a premier location and sports a mini cave cavity right through.
